Public Service Announcement

• In the United States, two legislative bills were drafted to shut down a large part of the Internet in that country, at the behest of attorneys for and politicians lobbied by the entertainment industry there. If you are a resident of that country, you should read this comprehensive article about SOPA and PIPA and this Stanford Law Review analysis and then write to your local legislative representative about the likely severe unintended consequences of these misguided bills. As an alternative to these bills (and in response to worldwide protests), the OPEN bill has been drafted.
• Protecting copyrights, patents, and intellectual property is a worthwhile goal. When governments take draconian measures to enforce questionable claims of infringement and damages, however, bad things such as complete shutdown of the internet (as happened in China recently) begin to occur. Recognition of this type of problem has caused protest and examination of the EU's ACTA and Canada's C-11 Bill to ensure that interruption of the basic mechanics of the Internet does not result from the (often ill-conceived) pursuit of "pirates."
